"Becoming Belbin Accredited: A Game-Changer for Team-Building Facilitators and Coaches"


Belbin for team building facilitators and coaches

 

Becoming accredited in Belbin’s Team Role Model can be a game-changer for anyone working as a team-building facilitator or coach.

 

Belbin accreditation provides facilitators and coaches with a deeper understanding of the behavioural strengths and weaknesses that shape team dynamics, enhancing their ability to build high-performing, cohesive teams with evidence and research-based tools.

 

Sabre is Sole Belbin Distributor for Australia and we train and accredit not only our own facilitators, but those of other team building and development providers and coaches. 

 

We know it works because we’ve been using it successfully since 1989.

 

Here’s a look at the key benefits of becoming Belbin accredited:

 

Deeper Understanding of Real Team Dynamics

 

Belbin’s model measures 9 team role behavioural clusters that individuals typically embody in a work setting as natural, manageable and least preferred roles, such as the Plant (creative problem-solver), Coordinator (people organiser), and Completer Finisher (detail-oriented).

 

Through Belbin accreditation, team and leadership coaches and facilitators gain an in-depth understanding of these roles, allowing them to recognise the unique contributions and challenges that each team member brings. This insight is invaluable for facilitators aiming to foster balanced and effective teams where members feel understood and appreciated.

 

Enhanced Understanding of Working Relationships and Conflict Resolution Skills

 

With Belbin accreditation, facilitators learn to interpret and work with team role behaviours, relationships and conflicts that manifest in workplaces constructively. Rather than viewing pain points in teams and conflicts as setbacks, facilitators can address them as natural byproducts of diversity in working styles.

 

By identifying the underlying causes of these issues and conflicts, such as mismatched roles, deficits of certain styles in a team or overlapping responsibilities, facilitators can more credibly intervene with targeted strategies that mitigate tension and promote harmony, helping team members understand each other’s strengths and differences.

 

Tailored Team and Leadership Development Plans

 

Belbin accreditation equips facilitators to provide customised development plans based on evidence of team composition and individual role analysis.

 

For example, if a team lacks a specific role (or indeed has too many of a certain role), the facilitator can suggest targeted Belbin activities and insights to manage this. This tailored approach ensures that every team has access to the balanced mix of behavioural skills it needs, and that individuals are empowered to reach their full potential within the team.

 

Increased Credibility and Marketability

 

Belbin accreditation adds a valuable credential to a facilitator’s profile, boosting credibility with clients. It shows that the facilitator is equipped with a tested, research-backed framework for team building and development, which can be a decisive factor for organisations seeking expert guidance.

 

Belbin accreditation provides facilitators with tools to enhance team understanding, conflict resolution, and tailored development. For facilitators committed to helping teams reach their best potential, this accreditation is an investment that can greatly enhance their impact and career.
